:This mode was added in [[AC 9th style|9th style]] ([[CS 5th style|5th style CS]] for home version). BEGINNER gives an alternate note chart for nearly all songs from levels 1-3. From 9th style to [[AC PENDUAL|PENDUAL]], BEGINNER was a separate mode with only BEGINNER charts, thus severely limiting the number of songs available in a game, while the difficulty levels are written in Kanji. As of [[AC Lincle|Lincle]], several BEGINNER charts from console versions (and earlier arcade styles) were revived. Prior to [[AC HEROIC VERSE|HEROIC VERSE]], scores do not save for BEGINNER charts, and all songs have a generic green clear lamp. | :This mode was added in [[AC 9th style|9th style]] ([[CS 5th style|5th style CS]] for home version).

:A modifier that affects the scroll rate of the chart. However, the chart itself and the song remain unchanged, with notes spread out to compensate. Early versions of beatmania IIDX have only one setting, but newer versions add more options; [[AC tricoro|tricoro]] and onwards in particular allows adjusting the HI-SPEED multiplier with up to two decimal points of precision. Rootage revised the modifier by adding preset HI-SPEED settings which regulate the scroll rate (though it also be affected with any BPM changes). HEROIC VERSE restored the pre-Lincle HI-SPEED setting while HI-SPEED can be set at a 0.25 increment, up from 0.5. | :A modifier that affects the scroll rate of the chart.

:A fifth difficulty that is typically harder than ANOTHER, and first introduced as an EXTRA-STAGE exclusive for the event ''Spada†leggendaria'' in [[AC SPADA|beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA]]. Not every song has a LEGGENDARIA chart, although returning songs are occasionally given one. The songs when played had a magenta color font and the "†" moniker, and were segregated on a LEGGENDARIA folder, which contains all the LEGGENDARIA charts. Beginning in [[AC HEROIC VERSE|HEROIC VERSE]], the difficulty is now made official while the "†" moniker is removed. The concept for a fifth difficulty first debuted on [[CS DJ TROOPERS|DJ TROOPERS CS]] as Black ANOTHER charts, with many of them having appeared later in arcade titles as LEGGENDARIA charts. [[MENDES]]' Single Black ANOTHER chart is notorious for having the most notes of any Single Play beatmania IIDX chart ever, with 2626 notes. | :A fifth difficulty that is typically harder than ANOTHER, and first introduced as an EXTRA-STAGE exclusive for the event ''Spada†leggendaria'' in [[AC SPADA|beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA]].

:Money score is a scoring display that displays a score of up to 200,000 points based on hitting notes in precision. In the past, money score is the basis for high scores in arcade mode in the past, and is derived from the name "money" in the early beatmania games where it represents the money earned for being a DJ.
